no smilely faces please ms anon. it does not go with the anger and frustration you are projecting in your typed words.
Lets look at your passive agressive emotional tirade---
"KHA program is so beloved by the dealers, and people in the know like you
" - passive agressive anon
First of I'd like to start off by saying I do not like anons. To me this is the most cowardly of tactics found on the internet boards. But I won't make this anymore personal than that.
It does not matter if the KH program is 'loved' or not. These issues are important. Personally I was very up front about my feelings regarding the direction of the KHA movement. But that isn't even the issue. The program has some very real problems at the moment. No one denies that. And those issues have nothing at all to do with 'how inside' the people involved are or how inside the people are who are questioning some very disturbing facts that have recently come to light. Let me turn this around as it might be made clearer- what if it was suggested that these problems exist but some were suggesting that the problems should NOT be addressed or otherwise questioned until a legal challenge arises. Do you think that is a good idea?
"Only dealers with a local business license know enough to handle fish. "
- passive aggressive pixie anon.
Not even sure what this childish dig is supposed to even mean? I'll attempt to respond and see if I hit the mark. Every hobbyist 'handles' fish. The whole point of the BKKS health committee, the MAKCs health hot line and eventually the AKCAs KHA program was to get some experienced hobbyists within the chapter,section or club's membership to help the less experienced membership. The certification was a cute idea and a merit badge of sorts to acknowledge a job well done. It was never meant to be a professional designation for using in the world outside the AKCA club. And therein lies the problem. We KHAs are not vets, not dealers and not professional experts! Just hobbyists who have taken some courses and hopefully will education our fellow club members regarding what we learned- more a 'pay it forward' program than a professional certification. Somehow in the enthusiasm for the program and its isolation from the AKCA membership mainstream, it has morphed into something the original members don't recognize any more. So this subculture and the rogue KHA it produces and defends is one issue. But the issue at hand at the moment is about real tangibles- insurance, liability, potential law suits and the money allocation. Should the meanies ignore that and watch the AKCA placed ever further into risk?
Who is the reasonable and mature one here- you, a cowardly anon with not enough courage or conviction to sign your own name while hurling childish 'nana, nanas' , or me, a meanie; who has nothing but logic, perspective and facts in my point of view? - JR
